As an interdisciplinary performance artist, my work interrogates the limits and possibilities for political action as well as the social practices that undermine the agency of oppressed groups. My artistic practice is in conversation with and informed by my research as a political philosopher. Through performance, I reinterpret concepts developed in political theory, while digging deeper into the nuances and uncertainties of social dynamics that cannot be fully grasped through philosophical analysis.

Performance allows me to bring my own identities as a queer, Venezuelan immigrant to the forefront of my political inquiry in a more disruptive manner. Inspired by the dance-theater tradition and queer performance art, I explore the discomfort and resilience that come with inhabiting these identities within systems of oppression. I am interested in performance structures that speak to the experiences of living through the climate crisis in a fading democracy, of undermining gender norms, navigating multilingual contexts, or feeling stateless.

My work as a poet and my recent explorations in film help me to expand performance and convey these realities more faithfully.
